Description:  The number of times that a request to lock an object timed-out instead of being granted.

Usage:  This element can help you adjust the setting for the locktimeout database configuration parameter. If the number of lock time-outs becomes excessive when compared to normal operating levels, you may have an application that is holding locks for long durations.

You could also have too few lock time-outs if your locktimeout database configuration parameter is set too high. In this case, your applications may wait excessively to obtain a lock. See the Administration Guide for more information.
